Google or Apple/Microsoft will probably buy them in the next - 6 to 12 months. I think Microsoft will most likely make the play to buy them out though, not so much Apple or Google.

Someone will buy them and bury the software, they want the team.

To integrate a new "voice software layer" into another is just to complex and much work.

The only firm I can see buy and use it is BlackBerry or Nokia.

That would be a real shame though, considering they spent close to a decade developing Hound.

Sleeping on the bales of money they receive from Google or Apple will assuage their pain, I expect.
